Readings Review of Down to the River
“Down to the River is a graceful novel that wears its acuity lightly. The paradoxes and inconsistencies of charatcher are sharply etched, but Finn’s insights into human weakness are humane."
– The Australian Newspaper

'Finn's succinct characterisations are filled with insight and are often very funny. We look forward to more of them from Finn.' Australian Book Review.
'As a novelist, Finn shows incredible control over her authorial voice, an excellent willingness to take risks and a restraint in refusing to spell things out too explicitly.' RRR - Melbourne.
'This is realism as almost cold reality (not to say it isn't touching). This Too Shall Pass acknowledges the difficult and the confusing and life's unresolvable, constant and intricate instabilities.' Sydney Morning Herald.
